I'm gonna post every swine flu joke I get from now on so you guys can see what I have to put up with @ 12:24 pm

Location or Detect Button insult: Not-a-Swine Land
Lie for mood's sake: annoyed

[info]pathvain_aelien: I hope you're not a swine [later today because saying "tomorrow" after midnight last night technically makes it mean Saturday].

*groan*
 

AW GNAT GNAT GNAT GNAT GNAT GNAT GNAT @ 01:03 am

Location or Detect Button insult: back from Cheryl's
Lie for mood's sake: infuriated

I just got back from my four hour long trip to the emergency room (which, technically, I went to yesterday).

Guess what?

I almost certainly have the swine flu now. And worse, Mom is the type to make jokes about the swine flu. "Now I can honestly say you're a pig! With the pig flu!" I have not groaned for longer in my life. >:(

EDIT BEFORE I FINISH THE POST? WTCN?: Now [info]pathvain_aelien called me "Mr. I Have the Swine Flu". This sure is a bad time to talk to ANYONE. In fact, I shouldn't even be typing this post. Stupid fingers.

At least it didn't automatically say "You are autistic" @ 01:04 pm

Location or Detect Button insult: Cheryl's house still
Lie for mood's sake: sick still

Your EQ is 67



When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.



You're not exactly the most psychologically aware person. You don't really know why people act the way they do.

It's difficult enough for you to figure out what's going on in your own head. Forget understanding anyone else.



You often feel bad about yourself and your life. But it's hard for you to get yourself on the right path.

Consider getting help for your problems. It only feels like you have a dead end life.


 

Writer's Block: If we took a holiday, divided it by a birthday, and added an anniversary...(What?) @ 12:36 pm

What is your favorite holiday and why?

Christmas! Though if my birthday counted as a holiday, I wouldn't be able to decide. On my birthday, my mom isn't as concerned about my family's budget and there is more time left afterwards until school starts again, whereas Christmas is also a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, and is less greedy because everyone gives presents to everyone.

Ours Will You Wake Up @ 05:59 pm

Lie for mood's sake: procrastinaty

Wow... I just worked on Ours Will You 1-Up for the first time in 24 days. Talk about procrastination!

Fortunately, one of my corrections to the backwards lyrics gave me an idea for a new "current mood" tag label. I've been looking for a better one ever since it turned out Rob Thomas said "new flavor" instead of "hot in mood swing".

Now back to procrastination.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I have a better "current music" tag idea too, so I updated that as well.
 

Writer's Block: Is your goose (or tofu) cooked? @ 03:23 pm

Lie for mood's sake: sick

Are you planning to host Thanksgiving at your place or will you travel to see family and/or friends? Do you prefer a traditional menu or something entirely different?

Usually my family has Thanksgiving at my aunt Cheryl's house. However, if I'm sick tomorrow, I'll have to stay at my house for Thanksgiving. :(

Writer's Block: Twilight/Sonic/Jonas Brothers/Chuck Norris/Firefox become(s) you @ 05:38 pm

Lie for mood's sake: popular culture'd

Have you seen New Moon? If so, how do you think it compared to the book? Was it better or worse than Twilight? Please, no spoilers!

(if you wanna understand my subject line, click "read more")
I haven't seen New Moon yet, but I've seen Twilight twice. (Why are you looking at me like that?) In my opinion, Twilight's alright if you don't think about its excessive popularity. Like this Writer's Block. Grr...

In fact, that's the way I think about almost everything that's way too popular. Just put anything that's really popular into the following sentence and you'll usually get my opinion on it: "In my opinion, _________ is/are alright if you don't think about its/their excessive popularity."

i.e.:

In my opinion, Sonic the Hedgehog games are alright if you don't think about their excessive popularity.

In my opinion, the Jonas Brothers are alright if you don't think about their excessive popularity.

In my opinion, Chuck Norris jokes are alright if you don't think about their excessive popularity.

In my opinion, Firefox is alright if you don't think about its excessive popularity.

...and so on and so forth.

So, to end the day on a non-swine-flu note: @ 11:20 pm

AW GNAT! @ 11:15 pm

Lie for mood's sake: SWINE FLU IS A CHIN RAG

Apparently, I might could have the swine flu.

One thing I wonder is, I've hated having to hear about it ever since the day after the first day I heard about it. Why did it choose just now to annoy me with the possibility of me having it?

EDIT: I just noticed that my "stcnu" and "swine flu" tags are on the exact same five entries. Go figure.

Top ten Buffisodes (updated) @ 08:41 pm


As I promised, here is the updated version of my top ten Buffy episodes.

(Note: Technically, I haven't seen every episode yet since [info]pathvain_aelien said that Where the Wild Things Are is kinda inappropriate, and I'm not one of those that wants to watch it even more when told it's inappropriate. So, I guess when I'm 18, I'll watch that episode and add it to this list if I like it. That okay with you, P.A.?)

Hush
Ted
Witch (or is it The Witch?)
Gone
Fear Itself
I Robot... You Jane
Chosen
The Killer in Me
Something Blue
Halloween

I plan on playing every Buffy episode backwards to put on OWY1U, as well, so I'll have that be the second time I watch every episode. (I'll watch them forwards again before watching them backwards.)
 

Yay for Thanksgiving! @ 12:59 am

Lie for mood's sake: productive

I'm finally out of school for Thanksgiving! (Well, I have been ever since Mom decided she was too tired to take me to school for the last day, which was technically yesterday since it's past midnight in my time zone, but still.) My only homework is 16 math problems over 9 days. I love having a LOT of time to procrastinate. ;)

In other news, I finally updated my default userpic based on my poetry posterboard! Now I'm better-drawn and not my AdventureQuest character (I hardly play AQ anymore), and PrtSc (the Yoshi) is more creatively-designed by being painted spotted (like on Neopets). (PrtSc didn't appear on the posterboard, though.)

I also have a new feature: the Saying-or-Doing-Stupid-Stuff-Free Timer! Now you can all see how long I've gone without doing anything stupid (as long as I've had Internet access since I did)! I also keep a record of the longest I've gone without doing stupid stuff (or rather, the least amount of time that could be the longest; I haven't been keeping track of it forever, you know). The link is in my sidebar, since I'll have to update the link every time I do something stupid.

And yesterday 2 days ago, I finally finished watching every episode of Buffy! I guess I'll update my top 10 Buffisodes list tomorrow later today, since I really need to go to bed.

So for my non-Writer's Block, non-qensored, non-too many Crystal Light noses here post today... @ 10:20 pm

Location or Detect Button insult: a universe where Enya's a WOMAN >:(

I dunno if I've posted about this before (and bedtime's getting close, so I don't have time to check), but in English class I had to make a posterboard of the four poems I had to write and some symbols and/or quotes relating to the poems and/or myself.

One of my quotes was the backwards Enya lyric "Now woods think Matt is stupid, but first, I'm giving it end," since it actually had to do with one of my poems (about not making sense). I put it on with my redesigned Enya sprite. Once I was finished gluing everything, my mom pointed out that the Enya sprite was coming off. No, wait, actually she said:

"This little guy's coming off."

"little guy's coming off"

"little guy"

"guy"

Maybe this is what Enya meant by "Under star, we met the gender." (backwards Amarantine; stupid the fact that OWY1U's not up right now) She's quite tall, too (especially if you don't compare her to Waenya or know what Waenya looks like yet).

Uncensored version below:

Nowadays, most teenagers find sexual innuendo in almost anything. I feel that one of these days, every letter of the alphabet except Q will be banned, because for every other letter of the alphabet, there is at least one word starting with it that has sexual connotation of some sort, and so every word containing letters other than Q can be made into an abbreviation for some sort of sexual innuendo. And what if someone comes up with sexual innuendo for a word that starts with Q?

I'm not saying we actually should ban twenty-five letters of the alphabet; just annoyed at the way most teens are.

EDIT: I hate this question now. I had to ban several people from commenting in my journal in advance because of it.

What three items would you place in a time capsule to help future generations understand you?

Submitted By [info]mausengeist


View 723 Answers

I was not prepared for this question at all. Um...

1) An autism support ribbon.

2) All of my Mario games. (Or, if that counts as way more than one item, then just Super Mario World.)

3) A Waenya doll and a printout of the backwards lyrics to Never Want to Say it's Love by Dido. (Or, if that counts as two items, then just the lyrics, possibly for a different backwards song. Also note that I haven't actually manufactured a Waenya doll, but I probably would if I wanted to build a time capsule.)

Quiz and redesigned userpic time @ 03:20 pm


In the event of a lottery win, Matt should buy...
An iPod studded with diamonds


An iPod studded with diamonds? Does it have a fancier version of the imposter song glitch? Like maybe it plays one song, but on screen it shows the title of another, the artist of yet another, the album of still another, the album art of yet still another, and the seekbar of still yet another. "Ladies and gentlemen, ENYIDLINE MCLWENLDPLAY with his/her #1 hit, ORINOCO WHITE FALLING CLOWN BENT LOGIC!"

Also, I redesigned my "Enya is part Yoshi" userpic. Now Enya looks cuter, more Super Mario World-styled, and more like herself, in my opinion.

Now I know why Friday the 13th is bad luck... @ 09:39 pm


[notdndcharacter]CRANTHER[/notdndcharacter]-LOAD OF HOMEWORK.

Of course, I have been having other [notdndcharacter]Cranther[/notdndcharacter]-loads of homework recently, but I have been getting a few easy days here and there, and this wasn't one.

Fortunately, I get to take a break right now.

I marched into a bad day @ 09:31 pm


Today seemed like it would be a good day at first, since my only homework (if you could call it homework) that's due (if you could call it due) tomorrow is to study for my history test tomorrow. But when I got home, guess what? I forgot to bring my history stuff home! Now I have to find some extra time during anatomy and/or Bible class to study. :(

On another note, I recently started playing Dungeons & Dragons with [info]pathvain_aelien and Stephen, and my character (Cranther) is apparently more severely autistic than I am, since I was not expecting to have to act out conversations with NPCs.

Good News Bad News XTREME!!! @ 08:27 pm

Lie for mood's sake: depressed

Bad news? I have a cold and a really sore throat.

Good news? I got to stay home from school.

Bad news? I still had to do my homework.

Good news? I don't have to do my essay today.

Bad news? I finished my homework really late anyways.

---

You guys are probably getting tired of hearing my restless soul complain about homework every single day (well, every single day that I finish it before 10), so I took a quiz to make up for it.

~ Ye Ende of Matt of Olde ~
You would die as a result of being overworked and malnourished. Sadly, you would predate the notion of worker's compensation and/or benefits.


Despite being one of those stupid all-you-have-to-do-is-enter-your-name quizzes, this fits me perfectly right now. :(
